mitted the republicans to protection and
sound currency, and concluded by pre
dicting a sweeping republican victory,
spoke of the diplomatic genius Blaine,
and declared tnat whoever is named at
Minneapolis will be the next president of
the United States. Blaine came in for
the lion's share of applause, and when
the chairman predicted that the candi -
date nominated at MinnearjoMs would
be electe-.l. there were loud cheers of
'and his name is Blaine, Blaine, Blaine!''
Chairman HopkR-s read a telegram
just received from Senator Cullom,
in which be said "the people of the
nation will confirm the republican
party in power in all branches of
the government and make sure and
permanent the cause of a free bal
lot, honest money, the protactive taiiff
system, and the energetic admin
istration of local and foreign affairs."
The rem lining temporary officers were
then selected: J. D. Puterbauzh, of
Peoria, secretary; W. L- Etton, of Win
nebago, and G. W. Horner, of Crawford,
assistant secretaries. The various com
mittees were selected and it was decided
to refer all ' resolutions and communica
tions affec.ing thv platform to the com
mittee without reading. A large number
of. them were so referred. Resolutions
were then adopted for adjournment until
10 o'clock tomorrow, and the session
ended.
The committee on permanent organizi-
lion this evening agreed lo rrake the tem

wretched condition of affairs. Owing

perished from starvation.

Kisses Saved Vp.
A traveling man, who was also the
head of a prosperous firm, promised his
newly wedded wife that he would give
her a dollar every time he kissed her.
and in that way she could save plenty of
money. Things went on in this way for
several years, and, as he made plenty of
money, he faithfully kept his promise,
Finally reverses came and the once pros
perous traveling man found that he
was virtually a pauper. He went home
to his wife and told her all. She, how
ever, did not seem to feel worried, and
he was somewhat surprised when she
asked him to take a ride with her that
afternoon, but he accepted her invita
tion.
Passing a large block on a well known
street she said, "That's mine." Soon
she came to a handsome flat and said,
"That's mine." Well, she showed him
several places with the same remark
until he began to be suspicious, and in
quired, "How in the deuce did you ac
cumulate so much wealth?" "Do you
remember the contract yon made when
we were first married!" she said. "Yes."
he replied, "I do." "Well, I invested it
and it has made us rich." The traveling
man hung his head and said nothing)
This was kept up for thirty minutes,
until his wife became alarmed, and she
asked, "What in the world is the matter,
and what are you thinking about?" He
said, "I was thinking of how rich we
would be if I had done all my kissing at
home. Michigan Tradesman.

ILLINOIS RIVER PALLINQ.
The I'pper Lerea at Marselllles How
Pronounced Safe.
Ottawa, ILL, May 4 The rain
which has swept this portion of the
State since Sunday night has ceased,
but the immense floods in the Illinois,
Fox and Kankakee rivers are still .urg
ing southward. Never in the history
of the State, save at the great
ice gorge of 1SK3, have the waters
risen to so great a, height At noon
to-day expert engineers pronounced
the upper levee out of danger and the
people began moving back into their
homes. Hundreds of square miles of
fertile bottom lands planted with valu
able crops are from one to ten feet
nnder water, and the estimate of dam
age by experts is about $20C,roo, as all
of the work of planting will be a dead
loss and must be done over again. The
river has fallen four inches, and it wliL
be several days before it reaches low
water mark.
